As kids we would hate cleaning. But now as adults we realize how essential and satisfying it is to keep a clean and good smelling home. 😊I love it! ❤
So true!
Great video !
For those who may need a substitute solution,
Maybe use essential oil/vinegar/oil, if you are worried about babies and pets or have an allergic reaction to commercial brands.
(Pour one cup of water into a glass measuring cup. Then add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar. Then pour in two tablespoons of olive oil. Then add 5 drops each of lemon, grapefruit, and lavender essential oils. Shake well and spray on the surface that needs dusting.)
The most worrisome preservatives in fabric softeners/laundry detergents include methylisothiazolinone , a potent skin allergen, and glutaral, known to trigger asthma and skin allergies. Glutaral (or glutaraldehyde) is also toxic to marine life. Among artificial colors, D&C violet 2 has been linked to cancer.
All love and peace ❤️
Thank you for the post! I can't believe folks are still using toxic chemicals to "Clean"!
Thanks. Hate the smell of fabric softener and allergic as well
Thank you for posting this comment. I’ve been dealing with dust for a while now but also love my cats and want them to be safe of hazardous chemicals. I usually just use water and a little Castile soap for all my housekeeping
Thanks for posting great suggestion and keeping us all safe!!👍🏾🙌🏽
Love my natural, diy products:) thanks for posting.
I learned the broom trick from a friend. She keeps a separate broom that hasn't been used to sweep up dust and dirt. She used broom to clean tub and shower. That way you don't have to bend and hurt your back
U can use a floor mop to clean ur bathtub. Especially if u have a scrub side.
000⁰000000⁰000
Great idea!
A swifter mop works great and the shine on these plastic tub walls really lasts
So true! I used a clean broom to clean my MILaw's tub that had backed up due to roots according to the plumber so there was mud! The broom cleaned it up in a jiffy and I didn't have to bend over or get overworked. Love this hack!
I love this broom hack, it makes cleaning the baseboards so easy! For those of us that prefer a greener option to fabric softener, warm water with a few drops of dish soap and any essential oil of your choice would also work, i.e. I love citrus essential oils. Thank you for a fabulous idea and video!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The greenest option would be something that doesn't off gas anything. A damp cloth with water will pick up dust and leave no residue. But if a cleaner is needed use fragrance free. Remember this saying "Go mild not wild". Your lungs will thank you.
I've done cloth over the broom but....this is fantastic! It works better and smells so good! Aroma therapy when we clean is what makes us happy and like you said you'll want to do this more often. It's fun and motivating! Thank you so much! 💗
Such a brilliant idea appreciate it
great cleaning tips
fantastic ideas they will make things easier.
Careful. Aromatherapy can lead to Chemotherapy. Learn how to clean house without toxic chemicals. Low VOC is the way to be. She will be inhaling the fumes from that fabric softer 24/7/365. The dust is less harmful than the fabric softener. Damp mop with water is superior.
I love this tip. I am older and have a hard time on my knees or bending up and down.
Those are the cleanest dirty baseboards I've ever seen
I use my O'ceadar mop to clean up my baseboards. Works great!!
I can’t wait to try this. I live in an open air house in Hawaii and my baseboards are really hard to keep clean. Thanks for the tip
Omg!! I can smell them baseboards through my phone 🥰🥰🥰
I’m trying this tonight!! I just came back from walmart with the exact same fabric softner. So excited to clean in a bit!! Thank you for suggesting this. ❤
Hope you like it!
So, what exactly is fabric softener? A base, an acid, absorber, what is it? I ask because I think Americans own a ton of chemicals which could really just be replaced with 3 or 4 things: baking soda, lemon juice, etc. If I have more than 3 chemicals under a bathroom sink I stop and try to think how I could give less money to Procter and Gamble.
I read fabric softener is made from animal fat. Uugh
LOL. thank you
Agree, and save the planet 🌍
Is there a natural fabric softener?… plant based?
Agreed. I also don’t understand the obsession with adding scent to your home. I prefer the scent of…cleanliness.
Earlier today I used a paint brush to clean my pedestal fan, then used a bounce fabric softener sheet to get the remaining dust off and it worked. But usually I use downy softener to clean my carpets to not only to keep dust down but to eliminate static electricity. I really does work and makes your carpet softer also. Thanks for sharing.
Will you please explain specifically how you use it on your carpet?
How do you use softener on a carpet please?
Probably in a carpet cleaner...I've tried that but it can make your carpet a bit slippery also.
@@DebbieUnderfinger Just pour liquid Downey softner in the rinse water in the carpet cleaning machine. About 1/2 cup. Also used it in the cleanser before rinse. It makes the carpet softer and smells so nice, also gets rid of static shock when someone touches you.
@@Danceswithfishes about 1/2 cup in rinse water, smells so nice and relives static shock. If you use too much softener it can make your carpet slippery.
Great tip! I'm putting my house up for sale and going to do this to help with staging 😊
Perfect!
Oooh thank you 😊 I have my fur babies water and food bowls by the floor boards and when they gobble down their yummies it's inevitable that they will get food on the boards. I'm constantly wiping off but this method is going to save me using up my paper towels and my back! 👍
I use my Swiffer by using old footies instead of the actual thing. It's flat but more importantly it's flexible and does a great job on walls, ceiling and doors.
I was getting ready to get rid of a bunch and now they have purpose eh re-purpose that is. I love my Swifter so new ways to use it is def something I am interested in...I never really thought about it even. Who knew?!
Great idea.
What are footies?
So funny. I needed to laugh. You know just slip on ankle socks.
To reiterate, what are footies? Socks On the Swiffer device? I just tried & it's not effective as the sock gets afixed to the prongs.
Yesterday I ran out of my laminate cleaner and I desperately needed to mop my floor, so I thought I would get my Furremover broom with a wet microfiber cloth and I used a bit of snuggle softener on it. I also use essential oil mixed with water in the cloth. It made the house smell so good! Funny how you posted a video the day after I did that!
Thank you soooo much our home is over 3000 Sq ft..and have been getting on my knees cleaning base boards..This is going to be easy.🥰
Wonderful!
I used to use broom with hard bristle to clean the wet kitchen floor and cut one too for hard to clean kitchen wall. Now I'm going to try your tips for all the rooms too! Thank you so much.
I use downy fabric softener in my mop water, especially in the winter time. It stops the static charges and keeps my hair from having fly always.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions
Yes I've used this for a while great too for high dustinng and cobwebs! Thanks though for reminding me. I just need easiest way to clean vinyl blinds
For those of you who wear sport watches with silicone watch bands (e.g. Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch), applying fabric softener on the watch band helps prevent lint build up on the watch band
That's a good idea ☺️
“More than once every five years “ 🙋🏽♀️🤣 Yep totally me 😬 Thanks for this great tip !
I am a stay-at-home mom and I tried this idea but it really do not work everything is so good it's not good but to each their own keep up the good work
I haven't tried this yet but it makes sense. I will be trying this.
I am excited to try this on the track on my sliding glass door!
Have fun!
Awesome idea. I would love to try the fabric softener and water on my window blinds too.
I love it I've been cleaning things with the broom since I seen your other video with the broom ladies watch it if you haven't seen it game changer no breaking your back 😍😍😍thank you for your hacks xx
Love it!!
Wow this is a super great idea! No more bending and hurting my back.
Amazing! I would of never thought of this in my lifetime. Thanks so much for sharing this
You are so welcome!
Cleaning Queen you just saved me crawling on my knees ty ❤️
The cloth on a broom at least in my house is very old idea my mother always used it. The fabric softener is a good addition.
Thanks for sharing. My daughter is allergic to dust mites and I'm going to try this.
I'm going to try this 💯💯💯💯💯percents ,,thank you for sharing this video 📸 with us,, Thumbs up 👍🏼.
I used your fabric softener hack and it worked great! Thank you so much!!
Wonderful!
I'm a professional janitor and that was amazing I'm going to use that at work tomorrow
Wow, I Love This Hack Can't Wait To Try This.
Ok...Yesss...I'll clean my whole wall with this method. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Love the floors and rug
Great video I Love it 🌹🌷🌹
You sound like a kind lady❤
Thank you for sharing☺
Love your tips.... Plus you do this with one hand..amazing
😊 thank you
I love Downey original. I like to use it for hair conditioner too. Rarely get it because of cost. Use vinegar instead,but how I love the way my home smells with Downey. I will try this. I love your short and sweet video.
I use a sponge mop add fabric softener and do all my carpeting every two day's. People will be surprised what comes up and your house alway’s smells great. Also I have used the shaving cream all over my carpeting they look great and bottles all over my rugs used mob again and saved myself hundreds they look great no stains. I accidentally dropped dirt from plants I was in shock when I did it and my stairs four floors and they come out wounderful.
Did you say that you use a mop with fabric softener and run it over carpeting?
@@travelinggirl6681 I think zen may be a troll.
@@travelinggirl6681 Yes its great Or I use at least weekly a good smelling cleaning antibacterial to get the germs out even though I do not allow shoes in my home? (Still with pandemic and so on) I have always done that. See what people are unaware of is we lose 1,000 hairs a day and it ends up in our rugs and anywhere one can imagine, so I started doing that at 12 (Lol) and I have since. But yes make sure you disinfect as well at least once every two weeks I'd say. Softener sure will make it smell good soften them up, but really disinfect them as well. It doesn't hurt the carpeting at all and you'll be in shock when you see how dirty and how much comes up. Also yes the shaving cream works I would buy a few bottles I sprayed 4 floors completely used a tooth brush if there was a little stain left it a little bit , wet the mob and it cleaned my rugs like new, I also browed my Neighbors wet dry vacuum it sucked everything up. I no more tricks then I wish honestly lol
@@peggybrowning9120 Excuse yourself Im no troll ty. In fact I could get someone to clean my house! I enjoy cleaning was raised to clean up after myself from a child. Nice bullying you are. Troll? Lol don't make me laugh I watch this channel all the time, I just never post anything. You might want to look at my channel to see who you just made cry! Nice Job. Troll Lol get a grip!
@@peggybrowning9120 What possessed you to say such an inconsiderate and and unnecessary comment?
I love it 🥰!!! Thanks for the tip. I will be trying this soon.
I’m trying this tomorrow.
Bet this would work great on my ceiling fans thank you .
Amazing. I am a cleaner! Love it!
Every now and then, which is not often, you come across a game changer. This a one of those times. Thank you!.. Subbed and liked
Thank You For The New Idea
What kinda cloth did u use I've been looking for similar cloths I love this type material for cleaning
Yes yes yes! The sounds of clean: satisfaction
Andrea, you must stay up all night thinking of ways to make our life simpler! What a fantastic idea! I'm definitely going to try the fabric softner technique! Thanks! 👍🎉👍
The just need to invent an effective wring-out version of one of those shag style mop pads on a small rotating pad; (the ones that are usually light-green, long shag-pile composed of long velvety twines. They make bath matt's out of the same material). They use this material on a flexible stick or pad but it's not practical to use on hands and knees or continuously rinsing/drying by hand.
Yah, but the broom is ingenious in the way the bristles conform to ANY contour! This idea really needs to be utilised in future cleaning inventions.
I'm just trying to think of some way you could adapt it to rinse the dust off after each swipe but I guess you could just keep repositioning the fabric to a clean area?🤔
@@ellaova Just wash the dust off of the broom, in the bathtub before you clean the bathtub! Have a special one for brooms only! She had a video on it!! 😁 💡
Yes she does🤛🏻
What a wonderful idea!! 🎉
Thank you! 😊
Luv the target slippers haha thanx for the tip
This cleaning hack is amazing! I’ll def try it. However I just got rid of old flour sack towels that were in perfect condition but I didn’t use them anymore. So now I’m lamenting my mistake. 😩
Andrea, I have to congratulate you for your enthusiasm in cleaning and pumping all the ladies in the comments. If you need aiob please tell me!
when I was a kid, my mom made me &, my sister go around on our hands & knees to clean all of the base boards. wish we knew about the broom method back then.ha
Our neighbor lady used to pay me $.50 a day when I was a kid to come clean the baseboards in her Craftsman-type house with loads of wood trim. My parents eventually bought her house and we moved next door when I was in junior high school. She was an unmarried school principal and we unfortunately called her an "old maid" back then. She was a strict woman. She retired and wanted to leave.
Thank you for sharing your video. Any good ideas for getting rid of dust,mold in the basement?
Bleach 👍
@@AndreaJean Thank you
Thanks so much for this.
You are so welcome! ❤️
This is prue Genius, for real! 🙌
So spreading fabric softner oil solids will make it cleaner? Sounds like dirt would stick to it. Spray detail wax, probably better once they are clean
I've never used fabric softener. It should work on ceiling fan blades too then. Hopefully dust wont gather on them after. Thanks
If the dust doesn't stick to the fan, it will just land somewhere else. It doesn't eliminate the dust, just relocates the dust. But now you have to live with a toxic coating.
There is a static electricity charge that comes from the ceiling fan that is why it collects so much dust, I researched it. I've decided to use floor fans I have high ceilings and I can't always grab the 8 ft ladder everytime I want to clean.
@@suzanzaman7942 very interesting because I always wandered if I tried WD-40 if that would keep the dust off the ceiling fans. If you run air or heat in your home don’t forget to change your filters. I have a metal one my mom ordered for my new house and I just rinse with the hose every MTH yet make sure it’s completely dry when putting back in.
Oh snap. I gotta save this one. I got a lot of cats. 😅😅
I like the idea of this
Very good idea.
I’m excited!
Oh GIRRL…you got me with this one!
I’m a subscriber for life now!
Thank you for sharing!🙏🏾
Thanks for subbing!
I am going to try this on my white polysatin shutters
I think Murphys oil soap smells fantastic. I wonder if this has a similar dust repelling action like the fabric softener?
Omgosh thank you
You just saved my life 🙂
Great Idea Wow!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great tip Andrea!!! Can't wait to try this!!!! Joan Bates ❤ ❤ ❤
I’m going try this . Thank you
Hope you enjoy
You are Amazing!Thanks so much!
You are!
@Andrea what type of cloth did you specifically use?
I used to do that when I was working tie a cloth over the broom 👍
Great tip
This. Is. Gold!!! 💖 Thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
Yes good idea!
Thank you 🥰
In our house we save all those old mismatched socks. Or old tshirts that you’re going to throw out anyway. The socks we just wet them and stretch them out to fit over fan blades as well. Trust me we go through a lot of socks! Can be thrown away or rewash. The fuzzy socks are super good for vents and furniture dusting. Can be flipped inside out to make them go farther in cleaning.
Great Video! Love it!
Thanks!
Great video sis, you are hilarious. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Do you runse the damp cloth, and how often?
Thank you! I was just thinking about how to clean the vent for my furnace filter and the baseboard needed cleaning too.
Cool hack! I'm gonna try this.
Brilliant idea!
I heard something similar using dryer sheets but I’d like to try this method. Like someone asked above, how will this work with pets?
Unless they're licking the baseboards I'd think it's ok because it's so watered down. Guess it depends what you use on a regular basis to clean? If that doesn't bother them, fabric softener or conditioner shouldn't but obviously use your own judgements cuz I don't want to be responsible for hurting your fur babies 😉
@@Mandy_39 good point!! Gizmo is pretty smart except for getting under our feet. lol. I like to find out as much online as possible and follow up with my vet BEFORE doing anything. I agree too. I wouldn't want to be responsible for hurting someone else's pet. I appreciate that.
You ❤love what you do😊 clean feels goooodd
Yes yes yes!
Andrea, you're one of the dopest house cleaners around! Keep the wonderful content coming!
Thank you! Will do!
OMG thank you for this genius
You're welcome!!
I love this idea! I've been cleaning with dryer sheets for about 15 years now. I cannot stress the people enough to keep the use dryer sheets cuz you can use them to clean virtually everything. Honestly I wish they made them longer because then I would put the whole thing on my broom
Bounce makes a dryer sheet that is longer!
Yikes! Driar sheets and softener are two of the most toxic things on the planet for your health…Just an FYI…
@@ciarasullivan1379 Isn't that the truth! Holy cow I'm allergic to that stuff.
I sew mine together!
I put two dryer clothes on a fan blade cleaner. One on top and one on the bottom. I have a vaulted ceilings so the fan is up high. I use this method a couple of times a year when I actually have turned the ceiling fan off and notice the dirt build up. I did it more when the cats were still alive because the blades would get covered in cat hair.
I also used a broom and and a piece of cloth to clean my glass windows
I love all of your hacks and you are so entertaining! I always smile whenever I watch one of your videos. Thank you for the great content and your sunny personality!
You are so welcome!
Great to find this today as I’m starting a new job !
Best of luck!
Thank You for this can’t wait to try it out and freshen up the house smell and tame that dust down!!
Happy cleaning!!!!
Hope you like it!
I’m defo trying this ❤️
This is a great idea! I’m going to look for some old pillowcases and use those to cover the broom whenever I use this technique.
A tee shirt or jersey type fabric holds more liquid.
@@youroldsweetie good idea! Thank you!
